GPS IRT Shuffled, Shrunk in Budget Squeeze

GPS IRT Shuffled, Shrunk in Budget Squeeze

Maj. Gen. (ret.) Robert A. Rosenberg, former GPS IRT chair

The GPS Independent Review Team (IRT), a key player in GPS policy for nearly 20 years, has been disbanded by the Air Force in what several sources say is an effort to save money.

Created in 1997 for a temporary three-month assignment, the IRT has been instrumental in shaping the current GPS constellation including designing military’s M-code — giving the signal its distinctive two humps — and pushing to get that signal into the constellation earlier than initially planned.

Trimble Announces Integrated Multi-Constellation GNSS, UHF Module for RTK Apps

Trimble BD930-UHF

Trimble has introduced its new BD930-UHF receiver and communication module, combining a triple-frequency GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo receiver with an integrated UHF module.
 
Part of Trimble’s GNSS OEM portfolio, the new compact module features centimeter-level, real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning capabilities, according to the company. By integrating wireless communications on the same module, the BD930-UHF module is designed to significantly simplify the reception of RTK corrections.

Companies hungry to offer commercial services in the United States with unmanned aircraft finally have something to chew on.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has laid out a process whereby a carefully selected set of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) may be granted an exemption to do for-pay flights before the first broad rules for U.S. flying unmanned aircraft are finalized.
